Speaking to SUNDAY MiD DAY Viren Shah, president of the Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association said, “Lot of retail shop owners wanted to call off the strike because of the festive season and many of them also said that a lot of inconvenience was being caused to the common man because of the ongoing strike. So we have decided to call off the strike. Our protest still goes on by the way of not registering with LBT, paying 5 per cent of VAT.”

Retailers, traders keep their shutters down to protest against LBT
